معنی
Something that is very obvious.
زمینه فرهنگی
The gooseberry (Nelli) is a staple in Tamil medicine (Siddha). It is believed to be the most potent fruit for health, making it a 'universal truth' of wellness. The gesture of an open palm is used in Indian iconography (Abhaya Mudra) to signify protection and truth. This idiom reinforces that 'truth has nothing to hide'. Tamil cinema often uses this idiom in 'punch dialogues' where a hero reveals the villain's obvious plot. In Sri Lanka, this idiom is equally popular and is often used in formal educational settings to encourage students to find 'clear' answers.
Use with 'Pola'
For beginners, always add 'pola' (like) at the end. It makes the idiom easier for listeners to identify as a comparison.
Not for Water
If you want to say water is clear, use 'thelivana neer'. Using this idiom for water sounds very strange to native speakers.
